lancer Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 So I would like to string my Mtd kz5 with flats. Anyone used flats on a Mtd fiver? If so, what brand and gauge? Any advice greatly appreciated, Cheers Quote
GrammeFriday Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I recently acquired an MTD fretless fiver. Previous owner had strung it with Circle K rounds - not sure about the gauge but probably at least .130 for the B. Decided i would try flats to start with, so strung it with Labellas - [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Deep Talkin' 45-128. Loved the sound and feel of Labellas on my old Sandberg California fretless 4 so thought they might work on the MTD as well. [/size][/font] Gave it a week or so and ... nah, previous owner was right. Replaced the flats with a set of DR Sunbeams [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]45-130. Oooh yes! Amazing, spectacular sound, and lovely silky feel. Game over! [/size][/font] Quote
lancer Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) I love sunbeams, I thought chromes might be nice though. Edited September 28, 2014 by lancer Quote
GrammeFriday Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Yes I'd like to give Chromes a go at some point - let us know how you get on if you do. Quote

GrammeFriday Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 You might not get too many replies - MTDs are a bit of a minority interest on Basschat! Maybe post to Talkbass instead? Quote
lancer Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 Didn't realise I had such an untrendy bass. That makes me love it just that little bit more 😜 Quote
GrammeFriday Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Yeah, feel the same about mine, too! Quote
